My current widest angle lens is my 17-50 so this on my 70D gives me an equivent to a 27mm on full frame camera...are there any recomended wide angle lenses for cropped cameras

To be honest i very rarely shoot landscapes but ive been dabbling lately..so i thought why not..its only money and you cant take it with you ive just bought a 2.8 70-200 on friday and its a similiar case il probably use it just now and again..ive tried panoramics that i stitch in photoshop...but ive found that there is a bit of distortion at the ends and they seem to rise up at the edges of the pictures sometimes.. maybe i just need to learn to be better at photoshopHow often do you find yourself wanting a wider frame? If it's often then stump up the cash for a more recent, good performing lens. If it's not very often (like me) then just shoot panoramic when needed.

Im watching a tokina 11-16 on ebay at the moment...just bought the 70-200 2,8 on friday ..decisons decisions
i went with the sigma 10-20I've got one I use with my Nikon D500, great lens especially if you want to dabble in some dark sky photography
People should quit comparing their lens to another format. You get what you get! ya don't like it and you think you want say a 35mm equivalent get a zoom lens that will give it to you and zoom in what you think you really want. You say the 17-50mm lens only gives you the equivalent of 27mm? On which end? if that doesn't work for you try getting a camera that will give you the same equivalent of what you want. I think you could spend a long time chasing your tail! Seems to me camera maker's may have done this with cameras just to give photographer's something to talk about!My current widest angle lens is my 17-50 so this on my 70D gives me an equivent to a 27mm on full frame camera...are there any recomended wide angle lenses for cropped cameras

Back in my film days I did that... then discovered the 20mm.Tokina 11-16mm, f/2.8 or Tokina 11-20 f/2.8 for crop frame camera.
Shooting 135 format SLR, I discovered very long ago that 28mm was simply not wide enough for my needs, so I sold the 28mm and bought a 24mm. I once travelled to Europe with only a 24mm Perspective Control lens on the camera as an experiment, and discovered that I was fully happy with just the one lens! Eventually I got 20mm yet found that I seldom pulled it out of the bag.
Fast forward to crop dSLR use, and I got the Canon 17-85mm and found it not wide enough for me once again. So I got the Canon 10-22mm but found it a bit slow for my preferences. I traded to the Tokina 11-16mm and found that to be satisfactory, but I found myself needing to swap lenses a bit too often; so after Tokina launched the 11-20mm f/2.8 I traded to that. Now fully happy.
It's a mighty fine lens. That would be my recommendation for a crop camera.Sigma 10-20mm was the best lens I’ve owned, superb lens.

Read stuff like this a lot. Best thing I can say is you don't have a full frame camera! Figure out how to use what you have. I have a D7000 and my wide angle lens is an 18-200 Tamron; actually my walk around lens but the widest I have. I don't know what a full frame would get with something like this 18-200 but I don't worry myself with it either. Seems to do fine for me down at 18mm when I need a wider lens. A guy could go broke chasing lens's.My current widest angle lens is my 17-50 so this on my 70D gives me an equivent to a 27mm on full frame camera...are there any recomended wide angle lenses for cropped cameras
It's my experience, that unless you have a tilt and shift wide angle lens, dealing witih the converging uprights is a real pain; unless, of course I'm missing something.
I would be amazed if I showed someone a photo I did and they could tell me what mm lens I took it with just from that picture. Not that I think there might be some out there that could actually do it but I doubt there's many!
This is, of course, true.... if the camera is level front to back then the verticals will be straight.
Yes its not always possible or even desirable to get it straight. You can of course straighten the verticals in post processing but it does mean the image gets cropped so another trick is to shoot wider than you need so that you won't lose anything important when that happens.This is, of course, true.
However, achieving that level of rectitude will depend on where you can stand and what the image is intended to show. I find that the trick is to decide what's good enough for your particular intentions and what level of distortion you're prepared to tolerate in the image. (Sigma 10~20mm on Sony A65)...
